Support Letter

We are in the process of getting ready to return to Honduras in October to work with Hospital Loma de Luz. Below are a couple recent pictures of our little family and our support letter.

“It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.” Isaiah 49:6

When construction of Hospital Loma de Luz began in 1995, the north coast of Honduras was practically the end of the earth. It could boast no roads, no buses, no phones, no medical care. Today, a good gravel road, bus service, and numerous cell towers make it less isolated, and Loma de Luz provides amazing medical care to the population of 75,000 in its catchment area. And while Loma de Luz can’t offer many highly advanced surgeries or treatments, its 7 doctors, 12 or so nurses, and staff of about 50 treat 15,000 patients annually on an incredibly small budget. All those patients have opportunity to hear the Gospel, be prayed for, and visit with a chaplain. Each day, every day of the year, 1-2 people have come to Christ through the hospital’s ministry. Praise God for His steady work at the end of the north coast road, at what often looks like the end of the earth.

Our first trip to Honduras was 6 years ago in the summer of 2004. While we expected an interesting short term experience, God had plans to shape us and our future. We returned in 2006 for two years and again last winter for a short 6 months. We seem irresistibly called to Loma de Luz. We belong there, and God continues to provide worthwhile work for us to do there. We are planning to return in October for a 1 year term and are praying about a longer term commitment.

As before, Josh will do construction and maintenance work on the hospital and its accompanying buildings and housing and do his part to keep vehicles running. I will be teaching math and science classes for the older missionary kids, as well as home schooling Guildy, who will be a kindergartener this fall. I can’t believe she’s 5 already!! Hadley is 2 ½ and a very busy little person, and we will be adding another little Browning girl to the mix in early December. So we’ll have a lot on our plates, and are trusting the Lord to work out each challenge for our good and His glory.

Raising prayer and financial support seems to provide God with ample opportunity to build our trust in Him and prove over and over that He is sufficient in all things. That said, we would like to ask you to pray about supporting us, trusting God to let you know if it is something you should do.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get ready to go!

Blessings,

Josh, Linzy, Guildy, & Hadley
